A New Political Season in Washington

As politics resume in Washington, Democrats face a difficult path as they anticipate losses in the upcoming midterm election.Obama's tactical errors and a bad economy only make their situation more dire. The upcoming session won't necessarily be any easier for Republicans who lack comprehensive views beyond opposition to Obama and who can only watch as the Tea Party takes over the GOP's heart and soul.
